Adept

Adept was an AI research lab building action-taking foundation models (the ACT family) that can use software tools and complete tasks across business applications. In mid-2024, several Adept co-founders and senior researchers joined Amazon's AGI organization in a non-acquisition arrangement, and Amazon licensed Adept's technology. Adept the entity continues to exist, but it has no current public commercial API; its primary remaining footprint is open-source models published on Hugging Face (Fuyu-8B, Persimmon-8B) and historical research outputs (ACT-1, ACT-2).

human only

More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Adept the way a machine reads it — 10 machine-readable artifacts across 5 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Adept scores 21.9/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 7/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Adept

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Adept. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 5

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Adept Fuyu-8B Model

Open-source 9B-parameter image-text-to-text multimodal model designed for digital agents - simple architecture, arbitrary image resolutions, and strong UI/document understanding...

Adept Persimmon-8B Base Model

Open-source 8B-parameter base text generation model with permissive license. Self-hosted only - no managed API.

Adept Persimmon-8B Chat Model

Open-source chat-tuned variant of Persimmon-8B. Self-hosted only - no managed API.

Adept ACT Research

Research outputs and demos for Adept's ACT-1 and ACT-2 action transformers - foundation models that take actions on software tools. No public commercial API was released.

Adept Website

Adept's company and research blog site. After the 2024 Amazon AGI talent move and IP licensing arrangement, the site primarily serves as a historical research record.

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Cost, billing, and metering signals for API financial operations.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
